Board clarifies appointment must be recorded 'by resolution'; five votes required
Summary
During the special meeting, a board member noted the school code requires appointment by resolution; the clerk and chair also reminded members that a majority of the full board (five votes) is required to fill the vacancy.
A board member asked the presiding officer to ensure the appointment would be recorded "by resolution," citing the school code's requirement that appointments be done by resolution rather than a less formal action. The speaker said the precise resolution text could be drafted later but wanted the record to reflect the legal requirement.
The clerk reiterated procedural points, including that the vacancy being filled runs through December 2027 and that the board needs five affirmative votes to make an appointment; if the board fails to obtain five votes, the county will select a replacement. The board proceeded with nominations, voting, and a subsequent resolution to approve the appointee.
